MESSAGE

Dear stakeholders,
T
he work of foundations anywhere in the world is constantly
evolving. This can be partly attributed to the changing needs
of the people and communities that foundations serve,
and partly by the complex web of political, social, cultural, and
other factors that impinge on our lives. In response, foundations
themselves enter periods of re-examination and re-evaluation
of their vision, their mission, their goals, and objectives.
In the past 49 years, Ayala Foundation has had its share of
organizational changes, as it has responded to major events in the
nation’s history or shifts in lifestyles. Through those evolutions,
however, it has constantly worked to help Filipinos make a
difference, in their lives and in the lives of their communities.
That Ayala Foundation continues to serve the country
is a testament to the long-term vision of our founders, Col.
Joseph McMicking and Mrs. Mercedes Zobel-McMicking; to the
resilience of our organization; and to the continuing relevance of
our mission, which is to contribute to the eradication of various
forms
of
poverty
afflicting
the
country
and
its
people.
We at Ayala Foundation cannot take sole credit for the
longevity of our organization. Our partners, benefactors, donors,
supporters,
and
project
beneficiaries
have
made
significant
contributions to ensuring the success of our programs. Without
their faith in our organization, Ayala Foundation would not be
one of the biggest and most respected corporate foundations
in the country today. Their commitment and support allow us
to continue designing strategic programs and expanding our
reach.
For 2010, the foundation remained steadfast in its
commitment to education and leadership development,
entrepreneurship, environment and sustainability, community
development, as well as art, history, and culture.
We continue to have great hope for the nation’s future
after another successful run of the Ayala Young Leaders’ Congress
(AYLC). On its 12th year, AYLC attracted a total of 81 young
leaders representing 52 colleges and universities across the
country—all of them making the pledge to become the nation’s
next
wave
of
servant-leaders,
whatever
field
of
endeavor
they
may choose to enter.
It was heartening to see AYLC alumni enthusiastically
leading voters’ information seminars in the months leading up to
the
country’s
first
fully
automated
general
elections.
They
helped
voters to realize the power that they had in their hands—the
right to elect the country’s leaders. I am proud to say that these
AYLC
alumni
made
significant
contributions
to
the
success
of
the May 2010 elections.
The efforts of the Filipinas Heritage Library in going
beyond the role of a traditional library are also noteworthy.
Through such events as Bravo! Celebrating the Filipino and
Lit Out Loud: The First Manila International Literary Festival,
FHL has harnessed its resources and partnerships to become a
catalyst and advocate for our culture. Such programs highlight
our rich heritage and make it available to a larger audience.
FHL also started MyLibrary, an ambitious project that aims
to build or rehabilitate community or school-based libraries
around the country. Through these libraries, FHL and its partners
hope to instill in people of all ages, especially the youth, a love
of reading and a greater appreciation of their local history
and
culture.
In
its
first
year,
MyLibrary
helped
the
city
of
Tiwi,
Albay, to upgrade its community library and to launch a reading
campaign.
For its part, the Ayala Museum continued to organize
innovative exhibits and special events to showcase our country’s
history, art, and culture. We are pleased that this year, over
90,000 visitors came to the museum to view our exhibitions
and participate in our educational programs.
Aside from the permanent collections, the museum’s
changing exhibitions featuring our National Artists and exciting
fresh talents offered a fascinating glimpse into the country’s
vibrant art scene. In addition, the Ayala Museum’s inventive
approach to education proved to be a hit among students and
adults, particularly historian Ambeth Ocampo’s intriguing lectures
on Philippine history and the DesignTalks series, which featured
some of the most renowned Filipino artists and designers.
These are just a few of the projects that Ayala Foundation
actively pursued during the year, but none of these would have
succeeded without you, our stakeholders. It is your continued
faith
and
confidence
that
has
kept
Ayala
Foundation
alive
and
vibrant in the past 49 years. For that, we offer you our most
heartfelt appreciation.
The year 2011 marks Ayala Foundation’s 50th anniversary.
It will be a wonderful time for all of us to look back on our
achievements, on our partnerships, and on our plans for the next
50 years. As we all look forward to this milestone, allow me once
again to thank all of you for helping Ayala Foundation become
what it is today. We trust that you will stay with us for at least
50 years more, developing and implementing programs that will
continue building on our vision of a poverty-free Philippines.

Dear stakeholders,
T
he elections of May 2010 galvanized an entire
nation to work together for the common
good. When new leaders were elected in
the country’s first-ever nationwide automated
elections, a new era of governance seemed to be
upon
us,
one
marked
by
transparency,
efficiency,
and accountability. Despite the intense heat of the
summer, millions of Filipinos came out in droves
to cast their votes, a testament to their faith in the
possibility of national transformation.
The elections served as an affirmation of
Filipinos’ readiness to participate in nationbuilding and to face the challenges of this brave
new world.
These events allowed us at Ayala Foundation
to
strengthen
our
resolve
in
fulfilling
our
mission
of
contributing to the eradication the different forms
that
poverty
takes.
They
affirmed
our
commitment
to
piloting social innovations and scaling up successful
ones in the service of our mission. They helped us
engage more supporters, donors, partners, as well
as national and local government units, to widen
our growing support base. We remain ever vigilant,
making sure that our methods and strategies can
respond to the evolving challenges of the times.
Education remains at the forefront of our
efforts to uplift the lives of more Filipinos.
We are proud to share that Gearing Up Internet
Literacy and Access for Students (GILAS) has now
connected more than 3,000 schools to the Internet,
opening the door to a world of possibilities for as
many as three million public high school students.
Even schools located in remote areas—including
some parts of the country that are as yet unreached
by such basic services as electricity—now have
access to computers and the Internet.
Also gratifying is the fact that the national
government has recognized the contributions of
the GILAS consortium to improving the quality
of education in the country. In the 2010 progress
report on the steps taken by the country toward
achieving the Millennium Development Goals, the
National Economic Development Authority cited
GILAS as a best practice.
Another project showcasing the power of
technology to bridge the gap between the rich and
poor is Text2Teach. This year, Text2Teach brought
interactive educational materials to a total of
180 elementary schools. The Text2Teach alliance
continues to gather more support from both the
private and public sector to make learning more
dynamic and fun for our public school students.
Our educational initiatives in Mindanao,
through the Education and Livelihood Skills
Alliance (ELSA) project, actively reached out to
Filipinos living in the Autonomous Region of
Muslim Mindanao, Region X, and Region XII. Aside
from providing training in resource mobilization
for 105 parent–teacher associations, ELSA also
4
organized seven municipal education forums for
local education stakeholders and local government
officials,
to
ensure
that
the
education
programs
being implemented in the communities were
aligned with the actual needs of the residents. After
its successful run, ELSA is scheduled for completion
in
the
first
quarter
of
2011.
In addition, the Center of Excellence in
Public Elementary Education (CENTEX) continues
to provide students with quality education. This
year, CENTEX embarked on intensive teachertraining programs. Teachers from both the Manila
and Batangas campuses were sent abroad to
undergo a teacher-training program designed to
help them improve their teaching methodologies
and their skills in classroom management. CENTEX
also launched A Class of Your Own, a fund-raising
activity inviting donors to commit themselves to
supporting the education of an entire class of
kindergarten students, hopefully until they graduate
from elementary school.
The partnerships that CENTEX nurtured also
translated to more and more students receiving
scholarships to quality high schools and colleges
nationwide. As of school year 2009–2010, there
were 13 CENTEX alumni enjoying scholarships from
some of the country’s most prestigious universities—
two from the University of the Philippines and three
from
the
University
of
Asia
and
the
Pacific,
to
name
a few.
AFI also continues to champion the
entrepreneurial spirit among Filipinos through
the Ayala Technology Business Incubator. In 2010,
Ayala
TBI
held
five
TechBootCamps—workshops
designed to help teams and start-up companies
grow and develop their products for the global
market. As many as 77 business ideas were pitched
to a panel of experts composed of angel investors,
industry experts, and corporate venture funders.
These concepts focused on addressing issues such
as environmental protection and food production,
critical issues that could affect both the present
and future generations.
This year, AFI took its commitment to
environment and corporate social responsibility
one step further by creating Ayala Foundation’s
Environment and Sustainability Division, which
consolidates the foundation’s activities in
sustainability, solid-waste management, clean air,
water management, and energy efficiency. This
year alone, over 1,680 tons of assorted recyclables
worth close to P13 million was collected from the
280 participating buildings at the Makati Central
Business District. A total of 85 Ayala Recyclables
Fairs were held, generating 70 tons and 2,500
pieces of assorted recyclables.
AFI
also
reaffirmed
its
commitment
to
serving
the needs of poor communities in the Philippines.
In the aftermath of Ondoy last 2009, AFI joined a
consortium of 15 organizations for Project Noah’s
Ark, a project that pledged to identify and develop
potential evacuation centers for typhoon-prone
communities. Aside from providing a temporary
shelter in case of emergency, Noah’s Ark also aims
to provide the communities with training in disaster
management and risk reduction. The consortium
made the first important step in realizing its
dream of equipping communities in the face of
natural disasters when it piloted the program in
barangay Malanday, Marikina City, which was one
of the communities severely damaged by typhoon
Ondoy.
Even as AFI expands its reach in the
Philippines, AFI continues to recognize the
importance of Filipino communities abroad.
The transformation of Ayala Foundation USA
(AF USA) into Philippine Development Foundation
(PhilDev) was another highlight of the year. After
10 years, the operations of AF USA was formally
turned over to its natural stakeholders—the Filipino
diaspora community in the United States. During
the forum and gala held in San Jose, California, no
less than President Benigno Aquino III was present
to witness the birth of PhilDev, an organization
committed to building an ecosystem of science and
technology-based entrepreneurship and innovation
for economic development in the Philippines. Even
with the transformation, PhilDev continues to give
priority to harnessing the resources and energies
of the Filipinos abroad for meaningful social
development initiatives in the Philippines. During
the year, AF USA/PhilDev raised $1,668,040 for its
partner
nonprofit
organizations
engaged
in
areas
such as health care, education, environment, and
disaster relief.
In 2011, Ayala Foundation will be celebrating
its 50th anniversary. In every one of those 50 years,
the foundation’s desire to contributing to uplifting
the lives of Filipinos has never wavered, has, in
fact, evolved, strengthened, even found new ways
to express itself. All of this would not have been
possible without the support of our volunteers,
friends, and donors, who make up the lifeblood
of our organization. Their generosity has helped
our
advocacies
flourish
and
soar
to
even
greater
heights. The challenges and opportunities of the
times may change, but our commitment to the
Filipino people remains essentially the same: to
eradicate the myriad forms of poverty and provide
this generation, as well as the next, with a better
quality of life.
We invite you to read our annual report and
celebrate AFI’s successes, which are yours as much
as ours. Thank you, and we hope you journey with
us in the years to come.
Victoria P. Garchitorena

FILIPINAS
HERITAGE
LIBRARY
As a leading library specializing in all-Filipiniana materials, the Filipinas
Heritage Library (FHL) hopes to promote and advance education and
literacy in Philippine history, art, and culture. Aside from actively building
its collection of books, periodicals, and other resources in traditional and
nontraditional media, FHL stepped up its efforts in developing programs
that promote appreciation of Philippine history, literature, and cultural
heritage in the form of workshops, lectures, exhibits, and special events.
In addition, FHL established partnerships for its MyLibrary program, an
effort to build or rehabilitate community libraries.
REACH & IMPACT
While remaining true to its core mission of serving as a research and
resource center, FHL reached out to a much wider audience by organizing
and participating in lectures and conferences, as well as presenting
cultural programs and festivals. Also, FHL made use of information and
communication technology to make some of its resources accessible to
a greater number of people, whether in the country or abroad. Lastly, FHL
reached out to members of different schools and communities in different
parts of the country through book donations, reading campaigns, and the
rehabilitation of community libraries.

EDUCATION
&
LEADERSHIP
DEVELOPMENT
Operational Highlights
Ayala Foundation’s projects
in education and leadership
development are committed to
helping bridge the gap between
privileged and underserved
students. By taking an active
role in organizing and nurturing
partnerships and consortiums,
the foundation pursues various
initiatives that seek to address
perennial problems in education,
particularly in the public sector.
Gearing up Internet Literacy
and Access for Students
I
n November the Gearing up Internet Literacy
and Access for Students (GILAS) celebrated the
connection to the Internet of over 3,000 public
high schools. This represented 43 percent of all
public
high
schools
in
country—a
significant
growth
from the time GILAS was launched in 2005, when
only about six percent of the country’s public high
schools had some form of Internet access.
This milestone was celebrated in a special event
held at the Intercontinental Manila, during which
donors, partners, and supporters were brought
together.
Organized as a multisectoral consortium where
AFI serves as the secretariat and project manager,
GILAS brings together various corporations, local
14
governments, legislators, schools, local communities,
and overseas Filipinos through Philippine
Development Foundation (formerly Ayala Foundation
USA), to support its cause.
Some of the 523 public high schools connected
to the Internet during the year were in areas that
had limited access to even the most basic services.
One such school was the Canumay extension of
the Antipolo National High School, located in
Purok Canumay, Sitio San Isidro, Barangay San
Jose, an outlying area in Antipolo City. The school
and the whole community did not have access
to electricity. In partnership with Sow Asia, Solar
LEAP, the University of the Philippines’ department
of electrical and electronics engineering, the
Department of Education–Division of Antipolo
City, Ayala Land Inc., and the Antipolo City local
government unit, the school was given 10 solar-
powered computers with peripherals and Internet
connection. The teachers also received training on
how to operate the computers, use basic software,
troubleshoot the hardware and solar panel system
problems, and maintain the computers.
Toshiba Corporation, one of the most active
supporters of the GILAS project, turned over 100
units of brand new laptops with Internet access to
10 public high schools in Laguna. This was the third
year of Toshiba’s four-year commitment to support
GILAS.
As it continued its mission of promoting
information literacy among the nation’s youth, GILAS
was cited as a best practice case in the Philippines’
Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 2010 progress
report, released in September by the National
Economic Development Authority (NEDA). The
report
acknowledged
the
significant
contributions
of information and information communication
technology (ICT) to the country’s development by
providing innovative applications and improving
the knowledge and skills of Filipinos. GILAS was
cited for addressing two of the MDGs. These were
MDG number 8, or “developing a global partnership
for development”; and target F of MDG number 8, or
“making
the
benefits
of
new
technologies
available,
especially information and communications, through
cooperation with the private sector.”
Beyond connecting schools to the Internet,
providing technical support, doing school visits, and
validation, GILAS also provided training for teachers
and ICT coordinators, covering such topics as Internet
literacy, local area network administration, computer
maintenance and troubleshooting, and program
sustainability. School heads also received training
in ICT sustainability and leadership to help them
take the lead in promoting ICT in their school and
taking care of the laboratory.
To make sure that each school could keep
its computer laboratory in good condition, the
Department of Education allocated funds to aid
the schools in the procurement of computer units
through the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP)
and cover Internet service fees through the DepEd
Internet Connectivity Program (DICP). With these
programs, a joint GILAS-DepEd technical working
group was formed to work for the connection of all
of the public high schools in the country.
Text2Teach
When Text2Teach was launched in 2003, it sought
to take advantage of the country’s robust mobile
technology infrastructure and the Filipinos’ high
level of use of mobile phones to deliver educational
materials to the classroom.
At present, the organizations from the private
and public sectors comprising the Text2Teach
Alliance continue to make sure that high-quality
and interactive educational materials in English,
science, and mathematics reach different public
elementary schools across the country.
The
first
phase
of
the
project
successfully
brought
these educational materials to 81 public schools
in Metro Manila, Batangas, Laguna, Cotabato City,
Oriental Mindoro, Antique, and Cagayan de Oro.
The second phase, meanwhile, reached out to 124
public elementary schools in Region XII and the
Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.
In 2007, Text2Teach and Nokia signed an
agreement to expand the project to 350 schools
in Luzon, bringing the project to its third phase.
15
Under the agreement, Nokia made a commitment to
provide a grant of P27 million, to be matched 1:1 by
the local alliance. Leveraging resources to generate
local government contribution to the project began
in
late
2008,
while
the
implementation
was
officially
started
in
the
first
quarter
of
2009.
By the end of 2010, the third phase of Text2Teach
reached a total of 180 elementary schools, 83 of
which were given access to Text2Teach technology
during the year.
By the end of 2011, Text2Teach is expected to
bring the project to 170 more schools to reach the
350 schools targeted for the project’s third phase.
As soon as the project ends, a third-party evaluator
will come in to review the project and determine
its
impact
on
the
beneficiary
schools.

Youth Leadership Development
The foundation’s youth leadership development
unit focuses on forming servant leaders across the
country. Every year, it oversees the Ayala Young
Leaders Congress (AYLC), the annual gathering of
the best student leaders across the country.
The 12th edition of the congress, held in Alfonso,
Cavite, in February, attracted 81 young leaders
representing 52 colleges and universities across
the country. This brings the total number of AYLC
alumni to 882.
The youth leadership development unit, through
YouthVote Philippines, was also actively involved
in voters’ information and education in the months
leading
up
to
the
country’s
first
fully
automated
national elections in May. The group held a total of
14 voter’s education sessions, attracting as many as
2,740 participants.
The Leadership Communities (LeadCom) program
aims to develop, inspire, empower, and nurture
leaders among young Filipinos and promote the
value of servant leadership among student leaders
in various parts of the Philippines. LeadCom brings
together partner colleges and universities from a
defined
area
(city
or
province)
to
form
a
community
that will champion youth leadership development in
their respective schools. They are also encouraged to
work together so the program spreads to all higher
learning institutions in their area. The community
serves as the mechanism and platform for synergy
and cooperation among partner schools and other

Education and Livelihood Skills Alliance
Ayala Foundation served as one of the lead
partners for Education and Livelihood Skills Alliance
(ELSA), an alliance that sought to implement the
Education Quality and Access for Learning and
Livelihood Skills (EQuALLS2) project funded by the
United States Agency for International Development
(USAID). ELSA was committed to contributing to
raising the quality of education, as well as improving
access to learning and livelihood skills, for Filipinos
in Mindanao, particularly the Autonomous Region
of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), Region X, and Region
XII.
During the year, ELSA conducted a series of
community-based resource mobilization, reaching
as many as 105 parent–teacher associations. At the
same time, ELSA held a total of seven municipal
education forums in select areas in Sarangani,
South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, North Cotabato, and
Cotabato City. Each of these forums was attended
by stakeholders from the local education sector
as well as representatives from local government
units. The forums were held to ensure that the
educational programs being implemented by the
local government were aligned with the needs of
the communities.
EQuALLS2 was initiated by the USAID in
2006 and is scheduled to run until 2011. Ayala
Foundation’s ELSA-related activities are scheduled
for completion on March 30, 2011.

CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
IN PUBLIC ELEMENTARY
EDUCATION
Operational Highlights
The Center of Excellence in Public Elementary
Education (CENTEX) is a public elementary
school, designated as a laboratory school
and managed by Ayala Foundation.
Operating under a tripartite memorandum
of agreement involving AFI, the Department
of Education, and the local government unit,
CENTEX aims to provide highly intelligent
but economically disadvantaged children
with education whose quality is equal to that
of the best private schools in the country.
CENTEX Manila was ranked third among
public and private schools in Manila in
the National Achievement Test for 2010.
In addition, several students from CENTEX
Manila and Batangas participated in divisionlevel and national-level competitions in
academics and athletics.
Focus on Training
C
ENTEX undertook a major strategic planning to
help realize the long-range goals of the school,
which included the continuous development
of teachers. This was incorporated into the revised
vision, mission, and values statement of CENTEX:
“CENTEX shall pursue its vision to become a model
public school learning environment where achievers
and servant leaders are developed, and best teacher
practices and classroom technologies are shared and
disseminated through teacher-training institutes.”
Part of the teacher-training program was the
development of standards and rubrics for classroom
observation and mentoring. This would become
significant
as
CENTEX
embarks
on
training
teachers
outside its two campuses.
Sixty-three teachers from CENTEX Manila and
Batangas participated in the teacher-training seminar
held in October at the Old Swiss Inn in Makati City.
The training carried the theme, Building the Heart
18
of the Classroom. Modules on values education and
character development, out-of-the-box teaching
methodologies, and cultural identity were highlighted
in the two-day workshop.
In February and July, Maria Victoria Lagoutte,
a lower school English teacher at the American
University of Paris and a regular attendee of the
Columbia University Teachers College Reading and
Writing Project, conducted creative writing workshops
for both CENTEX schools. The writeshop introduced
students and teachers to a wide repertoire of structure
and elaboration techniques, and mechanics and
conventions of the written language. The last day
of the workshop saw the participants composing
narratives about their lives.
CENTEX teachers were also awarded individual
scholarships to attend training programs outside
the country. Rhea Medilla, a third-grade teacher
from CENTEX Batangas, participated in a twoweek training course in Singapore sponsored by
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in January. Entitled
Enhancing Pedagogy Skills for Teacher Trainers, the
course included topics on classroom management
and motivation, providing for individual differences
in learning and teaching, evaluation and assessment
for effective learning, and developing creativity in
the learning environment. Divina Gracia Barrientos, a
sixth-grade teacher from CENTEX Manila, underwent
a special program called Training the Trainer in Early
Childhood Education, also held in Singapore. Another
CENTEX Batangas teacher, Sheryll Taroma, attended a
special summer training program at Punahou School
in Honolulu, Hawaii. She received training in teaching
English as a foreign language.
Partnerships
CENTEX partnered with various organizations
and individuals to ensure that its students would
continue to receive quality education. Among the
partnerships CENTEX nurtured during the year were
with such corporate donors as Integreon Managed
Solutions, Thomson Reuters, JP Morgan Chase, and
others, as well as private sponsors and volunteers
(including Ms. Lagoutte, Mark Floro, Maja Fajardo,
and Taft Consultacy Group) who rendered hours of
selfless
service
and
assistance.
CENTEX also sought to engage more partners and
supporters by launching A Class of Your Own. A Class
of Your Own is an initiative that encourages donor
companies to support a class of 25 kindergarten
students, in the hope that the they will continue
supporting the same class until it graduates from
grade school. The sponsorship package for an entire
class of 25 kids from either CENTEX Manila or CENTEX
Batangas is P375,000 or $8,750 a year.
Thomson
Reuters
was
among
the
first
to
support
A Class of Your Own, “adopting” a kindergarten class
from CENTEX Manila. A private donor also adopted
one class in CENTEX Batangas.
CENTEX also partnered with Steps Dance Studio
to provide second- and third-grade students the
opportunity to develop their talent in dance. Aside
from developing students’ capacity for creative
expression and boosting their self-esteem, the dance
scholarship also aimed to promote health, discipline,
and diligence by way of aesthetic pursuit.
On its second year, the English Access
Microscholarship Program (Access Program) continued
to attract participants from both CENTEX Manila and
Batangas. An initiative of the United States Embassy
in the Philippines and the US Department of State, the
Access Program encourages students to study English
in after school classes through intensive activities. In
October, Access scholars went to Davao City to attend
a week-long writing workshop organized by the US
Embassy and Kasilak Foundation.
Scholarships for Alumni
CENTEX established its Dreamcatcher program
as a way to help its alumni look for high school
scholarships. Since its establishment in 2005, the
Dreamcatcher program has helped a total of 270
students. As of school year 2009–2010, the following
are the partner schools where CENTEX Dreamcatcher
scholars are enrolled: Santa Isabel College, Manila;
UST Education High School; St. Bridget College,
Alitagtag, Batangas. A number of CENTEX elementary
graduates have also been admitted as scholars in the
following schools: Philippine Science High School,
Manila Science High School and De La Salle Lipa.
A number of CENTEX alumni also received college
scholarships. At present, there are 13 CENTEX alumni
enjoying scholarships from top institutions of tertiary
education—two from the University of the Philippines,
three
from
the
University
of
Asia
and
the
Pacific,
and
from other colleges and universities. In addition, as
many
as
63
students
from
the
first
and
second
batches
of CENTEX Manila alumni are enjoying scholarships
from
national
government
offices
(such
as
the
Department of Science and Technology) and the City
Government of Manila.

ENVIRONMENT &
SUSTAINABILITY
Operational Highlights
T
he year saw two key programs—the Ayala
Social Initiatives and Ayala Green Resources
for Environmental Education and Networking
(GREEN) being put under the umbrella of Ayala
Foundation’s Environment and Sustainability division.
The division brought together AFI’s knowledge and
experience in driving corporate social responsibility
projects and pioneering sustainability initiatives, as
well as environmental education and advocacy.
AFI, through the Environment and Sustainability
division, continued to serve as the convener of the
Ayala Sustainability Council, which continued its
preparation for the publication of the second Ayala
group sustainability report. The report, scheduled for
release in 2011, covers the sustainability performance
of the Ayala group of companies in 2009 and 2010.
Following the reporting framework set by the Global
Reporting Initiative, the Ayala sustainability report
will be a B-level report.
20
As secretariat of the Sustainability Council, AFI, in
partnership with Boysen Paints, mobilized employee
volunteers to participate in the Paint Ayala Avenue
Clean activity in celebration of Earth Day in April. Over
200 employees from the Ayala group volunteered to
paint plant boxes and underpass entrances along
Ayala Avenue.
The division also took the lead in the Ayala
group’s participation in the annual Corporate Social
Responsibility Expo organized by the League of
Corporate Foundations (LCF). As a member of the
LCF’s Environment Committee, AFI helped organize the
Green Lifestyle exhibit, which featured different booths
showcasing different ways to adopt an environmentally
friendly lifestyle. AFI also sponsored the solid-waste
management booth, where it featured products made
from recycled materials.
In partnership with the Philippine Green Building
Council (PhilGBC), the Environment and Sustainability
division participated in the development and launch
of the Building for Ecologically Responsive Design
Excellence (BERDE), a rating system for buildings,
the Philippines’ counterpart to the United States’
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
rating system. AFI is also a member of the PhilGBC’s
special committee on waste.
AFI continued to be an active member of the Solid
Waste Management Association of the Philippines,
the Partnership for Clean Air, and the Clean Cities
Makati Coalition. AFI is also a member of the Informal
Waste Sector Committee and Zero Basura Olympics for
Business Sector Technical Committee.
AFI remained committed to implementing its solid
waste management program in the Makati Central
Business District, and other Ayala properties outside
of Makati. At the MCBD, over 1,680 tons of assorted
recyclables worth close to P13 million were recovered
from the 280 participating buildings.
A community-based SWM program was also
established in the Bases Conversion and Development
Recyclables Recovered from the
Makati Central Business District
Weight (in tons)
Value/Amount
Authority (BCDA) housing project and medium-rise
buildings in Barangay Ususan, Taguig City. In addition,
AFI provided assistance in promoting livelihood
activities, using recycled materials, for women,
students, and out-of-school youth.
AFI also monitored the weekly Recyclables Recovery
Program in seven schools in barangay Ususan,
collecting three tons of assorted recyclables, worth
more than P8,000 from 4,639 participating students
during
the
first
quarter
of
2010.
AFI’s
partnership
with
the Brgy. Ususan schools concluded in school year
2009–2010.
The Ayala Recyclables Fair (ARF) continued in six
Ayala malls, four Ayala properties, and two university
campuses. During the year, the ARF was introduced in
MarQuee Mall, a new commercial center in Pampanga
developed and operated by Ayala Land Inc.
A total of 85 ARFs were held, attracting as many as
800 participating sellers and generating 70 tons and
2,500 pieces of assorted recyclables, with an estimated
value of P560,000.
In
addition,
five
special
recyclables
events were held during the year.
With the support of the Rockefeller Foundation,
AFI organized the Solid Waste Management Review, a
series of four workshops that assessed SWM activities
and programs in the country, and to develop new
ways to step up SWM efforts. For the lecture series,
AFI gathered stakeholders from the private sector,
government, and civil society.
During
the
year,
AFI
intensified
its
participation
in
programs
for
energy
efficiency,
clean
air,
and
water
management.
Together with the International Finance Corporation
(IFC), AFI helped develop a public awareness campaign
poster
on
energy
efficiency
for
the
MCBD.
AFI
was
also
tapped by IFC and the European Chamber of Commerce
in the Philippines to help organize a roundtable
discussion on the Energy Smart Program, which aims to
encourage the business sector to promote, support, and
implement
energy
efficiency
programs
in
business.

Meanwhile, AFI gathered baseline data on air quality
in Makati City through smoke emission testing in
three public utility jeepney (PUJ) routes with terminal
stations at car parks operated by the Ayala Property
Management Corporation. The participating PUJs will
be the subject of a case study in 2011 for a program
on proper engine maintenance, eco-friendly driving,
and a road courtesy training program.
In partnership with the Department of Science
and Technology’s technical working group, AFI helped
draft the Science and Technology Research and
Development road map to address water pollution. AFI
also
co-organized
the
first
International
Sustainable
Sanitation Lecture on water recycling and reuse with
the Center for Advanced Philippine Studies (CAPS).

information and communication technology, food,
health, and energy.
The last camp for the year was held in Los
Baños, Laguna, in December. It was held in
cooperation with the Philippine Economic Zone
Authority (PEZA), DOST, Filipinnovation network,
and
the
DOST
regional
office
in
Southern
Luzon.
Twenty-five
business
propositions
were
pitched,
with concepts involving the use of technologies
in environment, ICT, food, health, and energy.
Technology Business Incubators
The foundation oversees the operation of
four Technology Business Incubators in different
locations—two facilities in the UP Diliman
campus, another in UP Cebu, and the last at the
Asian Institute of Management in Makati City.
The TBIs operate under a partnership agreement
between academic institutions and industry
partners, particularly Ayala Businesscapes of
Ayala Land Inc.
The Ayala TBI group also organized a total
of 12 technology forums to draw together
stakeholder
communities
in
the
fields
of
technological innovation, intellectual property,
and entrepreneurship, as well as funding
agencies. The forums also serve as a venue for
networking as well as the exchange of ideas and
best practices.
Six Kape + Teknolohiya sessions featured
visiting scientists and technology experts and
were hosted at the UP–AyalaLand TechnoHub.
Meanwhile, six Innovation Forums were held
in Makati to showcase technology trends and
markets.

COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
Operational Highlights
A
yala Foundation continued to reach out to
various communities in different parts of the
country, implementing both short-term and
long-term programs that seek to respond to the
communities’ respective needs, be they in education,
livelihood, health, or housing.
Project Noah’s Ark
Given the continuing threat of typhoons and
flooding,
AFI
joined
a
consortium
of
15
organizations
in setting up “Building Noah’s Ark in Flood-Prone
Communities,” or Project Noah’s Ark, a communitybased disaster response and preparedness program.
The program aims to identify safe spots in the
community and develop them into potential evacuation
centers; improve school buildings and other community
facilities, so that they may serve as adequate temporary
24
shelters in the event of disasters; and equip members
of the community with the knowledge and skills that
will allow them to minimize, even prevent, damage to
property, injuries, or deaths.
In September, AFI piloted Project Noah’s Ark in
Malanday, Marikina City, which was one of the hardesthit communities during the onslaught of typhoon
Ondoy in 2009. Several capacity-building activities
were held to empower the community into organizing
its own barangay risk-reduction and management
committee, as well as identifying the risks its residents
were facing, setting up a warning and communication
system
to
be
used
in
the
event
of
a
typhoon
or
a
flood,
and conducting an evacuation drill dry run.
AFI also supervised the construction of 20
toilets and four common kitchens at the designated
evacuation site.
Buklod Bahayan Daycare Center
Since1996, the Buklod Bahayan Daycare Center in
Silang, Cavite, provided quality preschool education,
as well as nutritional support, for the children of
community members.
For school year 2009–2010, a total of 270 preschool
students were enrolled at the AFI-operated daycare
center. At the daycare center, they were given ample
academic, physical, psychosocial, and spiritual support
so they could be prepared for primary education.
After taking the lead in the operation of the Buklod
Bahayan Daycare Center for almost 15 years, AFI set
into motion the plan to turn over the management of
the daycare center to its natural stakeholders—the
parents and teachers of the students. The process
of
officially
turning
over
the
management
of
the
daycare center to the Buklod Bahayan Homeowners’
Association was started during the year, and will be
fully implemented in 2011. AFI’s role at the daycare
center
will
include
monitoring
of
the
use
of
financial
resources, and assessing the progress of the project.
Iraya-Mangyan Project
The implementation of projects for the IrayaMangyan community in Sitio Talipanan, Barangay
Aninuan, Oriental Mindoro, continued to be one of the
priorities of AFI’s community development group.
Its commitment to helping the indigenous IrayaMangyans gain access to basic services remained
strong during the year, particularly in the area of
education. Forty-two Iraya-Mangyans in high school
or college received educational support, as did 57
preschool students. AFI also remained focused on its
feeding program for 175 elementary students at the
Talipanan Elementary School, knowing that nutrition
helps improve learning, and serves as an incentive for
children to keep attending school.
In cooperation with the Sisters of Charity of St. Anne,
AFI also provided health assistance for as many as 350
Iraya-Mangyans every month.
Bohol Projects
The AFI-assisted eco-tourism projects in Baclayon,
Bohol,
were
chosen
as
the
beneficiary
for
the
successful
2010 Condura Run. As much as P523,000 was turned
over to AFI, Baclayon Recreational and Aquatic Activities
of Bohol (BRAABO), and the local government of
Baclayon. The amount was used to fund the installation
of
a
floating
wharf
to
be
used
by
researchers
and
whale
watchers.
House-Building Activities in Calauan, Laguna
The Ayala group of companies made a commitment
to build houses in Bayanijuan, Calauan, Laguna. Aside
from house-building, the initiative also aimed to
provide support for over a thousand informal settlers
relocated from the banks of the Pasig River, through
vocational technical education, job placement, and the
construction of health and livelihood facilities.
To implement the program, AFI’s community
development group served as a convener for the
organizational meetings among the Calauan project
stakeholders. Among the issues they discussed were
parameters for land use and project components.

AYALA MUSEUM
Operational Highlights
D
uring the year the Ayala Museum showed
noteworthy and memorable exhibitions.
Many of these exhibits were the result
of the strong partnerships established between
the museum and various local and international
organizations, including foundations, embassies,
and corporations supportive of Philippine art.
The
achievements
of
key
figures
in
Philippine
art and history were honored through several
exhibitions. Through an exhibit entitled A Vision
of Philippine Art, the museum highlighted the
significant
contributions
of
Purita
Kalaw-Ledesma,
founder of the Art Association of the Philippines,
to the growth and development of art. The exhibit
26
featured works by some of the key Filipino artists
in the 20th century, from the collection of the
Purita Kalaw-Ledesma Foundation.
In celebration of National Heritage Month in
May, the exhibition Images of Nation: Vicente
Manansala as a Social Realist, held in partnership
with the Filipino Heritage Festival and the Friends
of Manansala Foundation, presented powerful
images with a strong social message by the
National Artist.
The fourth quarter stood witness to the
incomparable artistic contributions of a leading
figurative
expressionist
in
In

by Onib Olmedo, featuring never-before-seen
artworks from the artist’s family’s collection.
The works of contemporary Filipino artists
inspired admiration, as shown by the positive
feedback to such exhibitions as Claude Tayag’s
Stations of the Cross and Olivia d’Aboville’s
Chasms of Fantasies. The 100 best entries to the
43rd Shell National Student Art Competition,
presented in cooperation with Pilipinas Shell
Petroleum Corporation, were also exhibited at
the museum.
Strong links with international organizations
brought several memorable exhibitions to the
Ayala Museum. White Hot, featuring contemporary
glass art by Australian artists, was presented in
partnership with the Embassy of Australia in the
Philippines. With Goethe Institut Manila, the
museum presented German Jazz, an exhibition
of photographs showing the history of jazz in
post–World War II Germany. A special performance
by the Berlin-based group Hyperactive Kid was
also featured. Meanwhile, partnership with the
Embassy of Spain brought the El Prado Project:
Dialogue with the Masters. This exhibition
featured the works of Filipino artists, who had
paid homage to paintings from the Museo del
Prado collection.
In its aim to bring art closer to the public, the
Ayala Museum partnered with the Ayala Malls
Group for ArtPark, which featured sculptures and
installations in various Ayala malls. Six ArtPark
exhibits were held, featuring the works of Jose
Mendoza, Rachy Cuna, Lor Calma, Bernardo
Pacquing, the Tam-Awan Village artists, and
Norman Tiotuico. The museum also worked with
Ayala Land Inc. in bringing the sculptures of
National Artist Arturo Luz to the Ayala Triangle
Gardens in an exhibit called Luz at the Gardens.
Finally,
hundreds
of
handcrafted
flowers
made
from recyclable materials were on display at
the Museum Plaza for the exhibition entitled
Dasmanila: Recycling Garbage, Restoring Heritage,
organized by the University of New South Wales in
Australia in partnership with De La Salle College
of St. Benilde and a group of craftswomen from
Dasmariñas, Cavite.
Education Programs
Numerous lecture series, most of which were
launched during the year, proved to be great
successes not just in terms of audience turnout
but also in providing creative luminaries a venue
to interact more directly with the public.
Through the Conversations series, the artists
whose works were on display or the curator of the
exhibit had the opportunity to discuss with the

FILIPINAS HERITAGE
LIBRARY
Operational Highlights
T
he year 2010 saw the Filipinas Heritage
Library (FHL) actively exploring creative
ways to promote knowledge and to
advance Philippine culture. In the process, FHL
has expanded its reach through print and digital
publications, education programs, community
programs, and cultural celebrations.
Community Programs
FHL embarked on an ambitious project to build
or rehabilitate community libraries in different
parts of the country. Dubbed MyLibrary, the
project hopes not only to establish structures
30
where books can be stored, but for these
structures to be used as a hub for community
activities. In addition, MyLibrary hopes to promote
a culture of reading in the community, and to
create a venue where local culture and history
will be celebrated.
During
its
first
year,
MyLibrary
received
overwhelming response. In partnership with
Chevron Geothermal Philippines Holdings Inc.,
FHL conceptualized, designed, and facilitated
the establishment of community libraries in
Tiwi, Albay and San Pascual, Batangas. The
local government of Ligao City also partnered
with FHL to set up a community library. Other
stakeholders also expressed interest and support
for FHL to build more libraries in other parts of
the country.
FHL is also committed to donating books
to public schools and community libraries.
The Literacy Fund of the library, which gathers
funds from our various programs and projects,
merchandise sales, and donations from partner
institutions, is allotted for book donations. The
following
schools
became
the
beneficiaries
of

Catholic School in Quiapo.
In addition, FHL facilitated the distribution to
individuals and institutions of 4,159 volumes of
art books and exhibit catalogues donated by the
Bard Graduate Center in New York.
Education Programs
FHL sustained its education programs for
librarians, teachers, and writing and photography
enthusiasts. Experts from the academe were
invited to serve as resource people in conferences,
lecture series, and workshops. To maximize the use

of information and communication technology,
FHL laid the groundwork for the creation of
online classrooms for writing workshops and
heritage talks to reach teachers, librarians, and
other Filipinos outside Metro Manila.
LibraryLink, the online union catalogue of over
100 Filipiniana libraries in the country, continued
to provide a venue for interaction for library
professionals by hosting the Second LibraryLink
Conference with the theme, Preservation: Trends
and Challenges. The conference aimed to explain
different issues in digital archiving and the
preservation of library and archival materials.
The three-day conference was supported by the

FHL
intensified
its
teacher-training
advocacy
by offering a special lecture series for teachers
who wish to explore pop culture as a platform in
teaching Filipino values, art, and culture to their
students. The Pop Culture and the Arts Lecture
Series held in November covered Philippine
popular music, visual arts, literature, and mass
media.
31
Festivals and Celebrations
With the support of partner institutions, the
library helped set the stage for celebrations of
Philippine art and culture in the form of exhibits,
fashion shows, concerts, and literary festivals.
Following the success of the Bravo Filipino
concert in 2008, the Ayala group of companies
mounted Bravo! Celebrating the Filipino, a
month-long festival that paid tribute to Filipino
artistry and ingenuity in music, dance, visual arts,
photography, fashion, and cinema.
Part of the festival was Filipina, Bravo!,
which honored the achievements of Filipino
32
women in history, government, business, the
arts, and culture. For Filipina, Bravo!, FHL
conceptualized and researched the photos and
stories exhibited in different Ayala malls in the
country. In connection with this, a fashion show
was organized, highlighting the works of some of
the
most
influential
female
style
stalwarts
who
have shaped the Filipina’s appreciation of beauty
and fashion.
In September, the National Book Development
Board (NBDB), the Book Development Association
of the Philippines (BDAP), FHL, and Vibal
Foundation
Inc.
held
the
country’s
first-ever
digital publishing conference aptly titled, The
Future of the Book. The two-day conference
carried the theme, Book Publishing in the Global
Digital Arena, and presented discussions on the
following topics: the changing landscape of
publishing, the rise of e-books, and how Filipino
readers, writers, and publishers can make the best
of these changes.
In celebration of the 14th Philippine Book
Development Month in November, NBDB, in
partnership with FHL and National Book Store,
presented the First Manila International Literary
Festival. LOL: Literature Out Loud brought
together nationally and internationally acclaimed
writers, local and foreign publishing experts,
teachers of literature, and fans of various
genres of writing to discuss the present state
of literature.
Publications and Other Services
The completion of May Sining at Musika
sa Kasaysayan at Sibika: An ArtConnection
Resource Book for Teachers was the
culmination of the three-year program
sponsored by Charities Aid FoundationAustralia, through the League of Corporate
Foundations, and in partnership with FHL. The
resource book was guided by the curriculum
developed by the Department of Education,
and was developed to provide teaching
resources that can help enrich classroom
methodologies and expand the knowledge
base for Makabayan.
The library produced monthly articles on
Philippine art, culture, and history on the
library
website
(www.filipinaslibrary.org.ph),
which received almost 53,000 hits by the
end of the year. Articles and special features
were also posted on the website of the Himig
Collection (www.himig.com.ph), which had
almost 26,000 hits.
FHL also continued to serve as the editorial
office
of
Ayala Now,
the
official
newsletter
of the Ayala group of companies, which is
published six times a year.
In February, during the anniversary of the
Battle of Manila of 1945, FHL received over
700 books on World War II from Roderick
Hall, the son of Alaistair Hall and Consuelo
McMicking. Consuelo was the sister of Joseph
McMicking, the husband of Mercedes Zobel and
considered as one of the pillars of behind the
development if the Makati Central Business
District.

PHILIPPINE
DEVELOPMENT
FOUNDATION
Operational Highlights
A
fter serving as a “bridge of hope across
the seas” since 2000, Ayala Foundation
USA (AF USA) was transformed into the
Philippine Development Foundation (PhilDev),
an organization that empowers its natural
stakeholders—the Filipino diaspora community
in the United States.
As PhilDev, the foundation is envisioned to
serve as an organization focused on creating
an ecosystem of science, technology, business,
and education for the social and economic
development of the Philippines.
34
Over a thousand guests witnessed the
transformation of AF USA into PhilDev during
a forum and gala held in San Jose, California, in
September. Guest of honor was President Benigno
Aquino III, who not only acknowledged the efforts
of the Filipino community in the United States to
reconnect to their homeland, but also promised to
lead his government in providing an atmosphere
where long-term initiatives geared toward poverty
alleviation may be more fully realized.
The forum and gala was also a celebration of
all the accomplishments of AF USA since it began
10 years ago. One of the key features of the gala
was a live auction, which sought to raise funds
for the Center of Excellence in Public Elementary
Education (CENTEX). As much as $213,600 was
raised during the gala.
During the year, PhilDev/AF USA raised over
$1.6 million for various projects organized by
a
significant
number
of
Philippine
partner
organizations.
For the Gearing up Internet Literacy and Access
for Students (GILAS) alone, PhilDev/AF USA raised
around $485,000. Because of the continuing

support of government organizations, private
organizations, individual partners, and donors
both in the Philippines and the United States,
GILAS successfully connected over 3,000 public
high schools across the country to the Internet.
For CENTEX’s A Class of Your Own project,
PhilDev/AF USA raised as much as P1.5 million,
which was enough to support the educational
needs of four CENTEX kindergarten classes for
an entire school year.
Aside from GILAS and CENTEX, PhilDev/AF USA
established new partnerships and maintained

By the end of the year, PhilDev/AF USA added a
total of 33 new organizations to its list of partners,
which now total 161. These partners work in the
areas of education, health, women and children,
environment, entrepreneurship, and disaster
relief.
With the change in name, thrust, and strategic
direction, PhilDev became an organization run and
sustained by its natural stakeholders. What the
transformation of AF USA into PhilDev ultimately
proved is that it is possible to turn over a project
to the very community it sought to empower.

For
many years Ayala
Foundation has initiated
and implemented various
projects in education. In what
way does MyLibrary contribute
to the foundation’s thrust in
education?
W
Q&A
WITH
VICTORIA GARCHITORENA
PRESIDENT,
AYALA FOUNDATION, INC.
36
e at Ayala Foundation have always
believed in the pivotal role education
plays in national development, but we also
know that in order for us to help make
education into the transformative force that
it should be, we have to ensure that each of
our efforts addresses a very real need in a
strategic manner; it can be replicated in other
communities or target groups, but can be scaled
to
fit
their
requirements;
and
its
operations
as
well
as
its
benefits
can
be
sustained.
MyLibrary is one such undertaking. Initiated
by the Filipinas Heritage Library, MyLibrary is
committed to rehabilitating or establishing
community libraries in different parts of the
country. Through partnerships with the public
and private sectors, each of these libraries is
envisioned to become an information hub and
an
activity
center
for
the
beneficiary
community.
The residents will then have their own place
where a culture of reading is encouraged, where
literacy is actively promoted, and where local
culture and history are treasured.
In many ways, MyLibrary complements Ayala
Foundation’s existing educational initiatives,
which now cover practically all levels of formal
education, and even beyond: preschool (daycare
centers in Cavite and Oriental Mindoro), grade
school (the Center of Excellence in Public
Elementary Education and Text2Teach), high
school (Gearing up Internet Literacy and Access
for Students), college (college scholarships
for Iraya-Mangyan students and assistance
in securing college scholarships for CENTEX
alumni), continuing professional education
(training programs for public school teachers
and librarians), and innovative programs that
continue to highlight the country’s rich history
and cultural heritage (as initiated by the Ayala
Museum and the Filipinas Heritage Library).
One of
the problems
that MyLibrary seeks
to address is literacy. How
widespread is illiteracy in
the country, and how will
MyLibrary contribute to
alleviating this
burden?
Please
tell us about
the
first
community
library established
or revived under the
MyLibrary program.
F
or many years we have seen studies showing
the high level of literacy in the country. More
often than not, the literacy rate in our country,
these studies reveal, is above 90 percent. A
90-plus-percent literacy rate is indeed high,
especially when compared with some of the poor
countries in the world. However, there is a need
for us to look beyond the 90-plus-percent rate
to recognize the extent of the literacy problem
in the country.
First, we must realize that this rate speaks only
of basic literacy: that is, the ability to read and
write, in its most fundamental level. When we
begin speaking of functional literacy—the kind
that involves reading, writing, and computing
skills—the number begins to dip. For instance,
the 2008 Functional Literacy and Mass Media
Survey revealed that even though as many as
61 million Filipinos (90 percent) between 10
and 64 are considered literate, only 58 million
are considered functionally literate. When we
start talking about reading comprehension, the
number goes even lower: according to the survey,
20.1 million Filipinos between 10 and 64 lack
comprehension skills.
Of course, keeping children in school is still
an important factor in developing children’s
literacy skills, whether basic or functional.
There are also many other ways to promote the
continued development of Filipinos’ literacy and
comprehension skills, and this is where MyLibrary
comes in. Through these community libraries,
residents both young and old will have access
to high-quality learning materials in various
formats. But aside from making reading materials
available and accessible, MyLibrary hopes to make
reading an important component in the life of the
community. We hope to achieve this by providing
training for reading advocates such as teachers,
community librarians, parents, and volunteers;
holding regular reading campaigns and other
cultural
activities;
and
finding
ways
to
sustain
the library’s needs and programs.
A
s early as 2009 Chevron Philippines
partnered with the Filipinas Heritage
Library and the local government of Tiwi,
Albay, for a literacy campaign. But the project
evolved, as the partnership recognized that the
community deserved an initiative that offered
a
more
sustained
response
to
the
fight
against
illiteracy—not to mention something in which the
community members could participate actively.
Thus was born MyLibrary, which rehabilitated
the Tiwi Municipal Library. The library was just a
room with a few books, used only for storage and
as a meeting area. Through MyLibrary, the room
became a fully functional library with a reading
area, a reference desk, a computer area, and a
children’s corner.
Chevron and FHL brought additional books—
children’s storybooks, heroes’ biographies, and
books on Filipino and Bicolano culture—to
enrich the library’s collection. FHL also provided
training for the persons who would be in charge
of the daily operations of the library. In addition,
the Gearing up Internet Literacy and Access
for
Students
(GILAS)
consortium
provided
five
computers with Internet connectivity. Aside from
being used by the staff and volunteers for library
work (such as cataloging), the computers also
serve as terminals for Internet research.
High schools in Tiwi were invited to design
their own campaigns on how to encourage
their students to develop a love for reading.
The winning school—the Virgin of Carmel High
School—set up a mini-library in each classroom,
invited
students
to
come
up
with
reflection
papers
on books they read recently, came up with a “word
bank” where they “deposited” three words every
day, and even held a special parade promoting
the joys of reading.
How
would you
describe the response
of
beneficiaries,
donors,
and partners to
MyLibrary?
W
e are encouraged by the response that we are
receiving for MyLibrary. The Tiwi Municipal
Library, for example, has become a learning hub
for many students in the municipality. But it’s
not just students who go there—teachers, very
young children, and senior citizens also visit the
library. The local government is also planning to
transfer the library to a 17th-century heritage
structure, which is undergoing restoration. Once
fully restored, the building will become a cultural
and heritage center for the town.
We have also collaborated with Chevron for
the community library in San Pascual, Batangas.
Another important partner is the local government
of Ligao City, Albay.
Other individuals and organizations have also
expressed their interest in partnering with us
for MyLibrary. One of our new partners is Apl.
de.Ap, who is a member of the international pop
group Black Eyed Peas, and who has committed
himself to also establishing a music library
in his hometown of Angeles, Pampanga. The
growing number of supporters for MyLibrary
only shows that the country shares our belief in
the importance of promoting literacy and love of
reading among Filipinos of all ages.

Envision
AYALA FOUNDATION
E
nvision, empower, excel—these three imperative
words best epitomize the goals and ideals that
Ayala Foundation has championed since its
establishment in 1961.
In all of its projects, the foundation envisions
individuals and communities whose lives are
significantly
improved
and
transformed.
With
this
goal,
the foundation develops programs that facilitate access
to technologies and resources that in turn empower
underprivileged and marginalized Filipinos. Ultimately,
the foundation’s vision is to see these empowered
persons and groups excel, expanding by themselves
sustainable programs that reach a greater number of
Filipinos.
As a testament to its vision and continued service,
Ayala Foundation has, since 1961, contributed to
improving the quality of life of well over three million
people from more than 3,000 schools and communities

in virtually all geographic regions of the Philippines.
AFI traces its beginnings to the signing of the
Science Act of 1958, which sought to “integrate,
coordinate,
and
intensify
scientific
and
technological
research and development and to foster invention.” Col.
Joseph McMicking and Mercedes Zobel-McMicking were
among
the
first
to
respond
to
this
call.
Believing
in
the
need to “push the frontiers of knowledge and abolish
poverty and privation in whatever form among the
people of the Philippines,” the McMickings established
Filipinas Foundation Inc. (FFI) three years later.
FFI
invested
in
scientific
studies
and
made
sure
that
these
projects
benefited
Filipinos.
FFI
also
offered scholarships and gave special attention to
the vocational education of out-of-school youths. In
1967, it established the Ayala Museum, which initially
housed an impressive collection of archaeological
materials, artworks, and rare coins.
After the People Power Revolution of 1986, Filipinos
were motivated to help the government rebuild
the nation. And so in 1990, one year shy of its 30th
anniversary, FFI was renamed Ayala Foundation Inc.
(AFI), signifying the Ayala group’s renewed commitment
to respond to the needs of a changing society.
The revitalized AFI became actively involved in
livelihood and social development. AFI championed
skills training among out-of-school youth and jobless
women. It also pursued community development
projects. Aside from offering assistance to the Iraya
Mangyans of Mindoro Oriental (most notably with
regard to reclaiming the indigenous group’s ancestral
domain) and the Aetas displaced by the Pinatubo
eruption in 1991, AFI reached out to communities
in
Cebu,
Cavite,
and
conflict
areas
in
Mindanao.
The
foundation’s empowering approach to community
development was brought to many different parts of

the country, and involved running a daycare center in
Cavite, implementing environmental and livelihood
projects in Bohol, and setting up disaster preparedness
programs in high-risk areas, among others.
AFI’s commitment to the nation’s art, history, and
culture likewise remained strong. The Filipinas Heritage
Library, founded in 1996, is now a leading Filipiniana
library and literacy advocate in the country. The Ayala
Museum, meanwhile, expanded operations and moved
to its world-class building in 2004, thus creating more
space for innovative and culturally relevant exhibits.
As AFI looked for innovative solutions to deepseated educational problems, it introduced the
Center of Excellence in Public Elementary Education
(CENTEX) in 2000, and developed programs that
sought to address issues of access to educational
tools. Capitalizing on developments in information
technology and spearheading multi-stakeholder
consortiums, AFI introduced Text2Teach and Gearing
up Internet Literacy and Access for Students (GILAS).
Beyond issues of access, AFI hoped to nurture the most
promising student leaders in the country through the
prestigious Ayala Young Leaders Congress.
AFI also pioneered environmental programs. The
entire Makati Central Business District and other Ayalamanaged properties adopted its successful solid-waste
management program in the 1990s. Over the years,
the foundation’s environmental initiatives expanded
to cover such urgent concerns as clean air, clean water,
energy
efficiency,
and
sustainability.
The foundation’s programs in entrepreneurship
took various forms in the past few decades. Aside from
microfinance
programs,
AFI
provided
scholarships
for hundreds of individuals who wished to hone
their vocational skills, and nurtured communitybased enterprises. Over the years, AFI’s initiatives in
entrepreneurship evolved to support startups and
new
businesses
in
the
burgeoning
field
of
information
technology.
Today, AFI continues to strengthen its programs and
develop new ones to remain relevant. The foundation
operates in nearly all of the country’s regions. As the
corporate social responsibility arm of the Ayala group,
AFI develops, implements, and sustains programs in
education and leadership development; environment
and sustainability; technology and entrepreneurship;
community development; art, history, and culture;
and diaspora philanthropy. To widen the reach and
strengthen the impact of its programs, AFI nurtures
partnerships with government, nongovernment,
corporate, and community-based organizations, as
well as private individuals.

The cover of the 2010 Ayala Foundation Annual Report is
printed
on
FSC©-
certified
Mohawk
Options,
which
is
made
with 100-percent post-consumer waste. The inside pages,
meanwhile, are printed on Limited Edition Sinar Woodfree,
also made from 100 percent recycled materials.
About the Cover:
In its 49 years, Ayala Foundation continues to
recognize the importance of building and nurturing
partnerships. This is why the foundation chose the
image of the historic balangay as the cover image
for its annual report. The balangay is where the
Filipino word “barangay” comes from—a symbol
of Filipinos coming together to build communities
across these islands. AFI continues to establish and
nurture partnerships—a key strategy for the continuing
development of the nation.
